Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Teenage midfielder Jack Rodwell has agreed a new five-year deal with Everton and is likely to sign his contract by the weekend.
The 17-year-old scored his first goal for the Toffees in yesterday's 3-1 FA Cup victory at home to Aston Villa.
Rodwell, who made his debut aged 16 in the Uefa Cup in December 2007, has made 13 first-team appearances this season, seven of which were from the start.
"Just to play for Everton is an honour, but to get the goal, I am made up," the academy product told EvertonTV after yesterday's strike.
"I'm glad it's out of the way, hopefully there's more to come.
"My ambitions are just to keep working hard and when I do get on to make an impression."
